Flirting
After being in a relationship for a while, I completely forgot what it felt like to exchange text messages and share an aim window with a new person - one who sparks your interest, even if ever so faintly in those few days since you made your internet acquaintance.
Why are some people still afraid of dating websites? It's healthy to put yourself out there, to know what you want from a new friend or potential partner, to get all dressed up and meet someone for the first time... wondering if they're gonna think you have a goofy smile or if they'll make you laugh so hard that you snort...
Oh how embarrassing! And that's the excitement! What will this person think of me? Will they ever call me again? Will they walk to their car thinking "Wow, she's even more amazing in person."
I think it's unfortunate how our society sometimes views, what a good friend of mine once referred to as, being the master of one's own destiny. Taking control, knowing what you deserve, and going for it. It feels good. It feels empowering.
So, I say - go for it! At the very least, it gives you something more than the mundane to look forward to. :) And above all, it's healthy!
